Black-eyed Susan

The black-eyed Susan is a flower so beloved that gardeners smitten with its bold flowers have introduced it across most of North America, making its blossoms among our most recognized. The prairies of the plains, however, are its native home. The black-eyed Susan grows from one-foot to three-feet tall and has a coarse, rough stem. Its flowers will remind you of a daisy: yellow petals and a brown central cone.
